Zaburi 82

1 Mungu amesimama katika kusanyiko la mbinguni; katikati ya miungu anahukumu.

A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

2 Hata lini mtahukumu bila haki na kuonesha upendeleo kwa waovu? (Selah)

“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah)

3 Wateteeni maskini na yatima; dumisheni haki kwa aliyetaabishwa na fukara.

“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

4 Muokoeni maskini na muhitaji; watoeni mkononi mwa waovu.

Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

5 Hawajui wala hawaelewi; hutembea gizani; misingi yote ya nchi imebomoka.

They do not know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 Mimi nilisema, “Ninyi ni miungu, na ninyi nyote wana wa Mungu aliye Juu.

I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

7 Hata hivyo mtakufa kama wanadamu na mtaanguka kama mmoja wa wakuu.”

Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

8 Uinuke, Ee Mungu, uihukumu nchi, maana unaurithi katika mataifa yote.

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
